Elsewhere is hiring a 3D Character Animator to work with us on our upcoming live service roguelike game. Our game captures the aesthetic and soul of indie games, the replayability and depth of roguelikes, and the ambition to become a forever game that reaches millions of players.

As a 3D Character Animator, you’ll work closely with our Founding Artist to create animation loops for newly modeled characters, as well as helping to further develop existing animations.

This position is for an ongoing contract, ranging from 20-40 hrs/week depending on business needs.

  • Excited to work closely with a small and highly communicative team of game developers
  • Comfort with being on video calls

  • Experience working on a small team, ideally in a startup environment.
  • Solid visual design intuition
About us:
We have a deep bench of talent from diverse backgrounds and have been backed by top Silicon Valley investors. We’re an idealistic team that loves video games and deeply believes in their potential: both as a creative medium and as a way for us to socialize and play together.

Your colleagues would include:
  • An indie game-developer who launched a successful kick-starter game
  • A self-taught immersive artist who bootstrapped an alternate reality game into a successful entertainment studio
  • An artist who achieved notoriety through a faithful solo-recreation of an old Nintendo game

About Elsewhere

Elsewhere is a San Francisco-based startup game studio building a new kind of multiplayer video game. We’re inspired by an emerging category of video game (called “roguelikes”) that, although dating back over 20 years, have recently taken the indie market by storm. Our game is the first to combine the roguelike play pattern with a live service game built around long-term retention, which is how billion dollar game franchises like League of Legends and Fortnite are built. Elsewhere is backed by top Silicon Valley investors.
